<p>Support your NB authors

<p>I've avoided buying all the other NB items, so I'd like the opportunity to avoid buying their products as well :)

Mon, 07 Oct 2013 10:08:31 +0000Mary Evans197683@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>It's all part of my author outreach programme (how do you think I got on this site?). And I was assuming that included unloading the dishwasher on your way out.

<p>First you start this post, and now that. Why are you being so nice to me? Do you need to borrow money?

Thu, 03 Oct 2013 18:38:10 +0000Mary Evans197392@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>Now, now Babs,don't be that way. Even after exhausting you, there would still be 23 hours and 58 minutes of the day left.

Thu, 03 Oct 2013 15:36:16 +0000nealdoran197375@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>Writer Kin, that was the fellow. I think he used to be known as Smudger, but the name was taken on here. Lord knows what he used to smudge, probably best not to think about it too much.</p>
<p>Excellent idea to see what everyone is up to in other places, but a Daily Mary? We'd all be exhausted.

Wed, 02 Oct 2013 15:41:29 +0000thisisall1word197231@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>Spunky Sailor took many people back - mainly to the laundry room on the HMS Endurance, although some to the kitchen, and on one memorable occassion to the ship chaplain's quarters for some intense bile studies if I remember correctly.<br />
"50 Ships of Gay" should be what Writer Ken is dictating to his long suffering secretary to type up. That's if we can take any more FSoG puns... Were Ken &amp; Smudger one and the same?</p>
<p>It might be nice for NB to compile a list of our fine contributors published efforts somwehere 'off-forum' - or is that too gushing and lovey?</p>
<p>Daily Mary?

Wed, 02 Oct 2013 05:44:00 +0000nealdoran197161@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>Cheers thisisall1word, just send me a cheque to cover, ooh let's say 1,000 copies at £7.99 and I'll get the publisher right onto it. Payable to cash probably easiest. Spunky Sailor, that takes me back... I wonder how [smudger, was it?] is doing in the 50 Shades era.</p>
<p>Ta for reviews Rikkor and Mary. Rikkor I admire your confidence, and Mary, I'm sure a column in the Daily Mail is imminent once they get wind of the questionable things you wrote about my parents in there. Not that I mind, stars is stars.

Tue, 01 Oct 2013 14:35:35 +0000Mary Evans197115@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>It is a great read Babs, considerably better than the drivel you used to post on here. I have duly reviewed it on Amazon, bearing in mind my obligations as a journalist in a post-Leveson landscape. Which reminds me - change your voicemail message already.

Mon, 30 Sep 2013 15:58:59 +0000thisisall1word197013@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>As a luddite I am not sure that I can work with all this eBook-ery. Am on the side of all those claiming tis the devils work.<br />
Good work though! I am hoping that enough eBooks get sold and read for the publishers to think that a run of a few hundred copies wouldn't go amiss - I will gladly put my name down for one...<br />
...actually is that an idea - like a crowd-funded paperback... how many copies would we need to pledge to buy to make that worthwhile I wonder...</p>
<p>I still never managed to read Spunky Sailor either...

Sun, 29 Sep 2013 18:19:57 +0000rikkor196940@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>Congratulations, Neal! Do wot I did and go onto Amazon and write a glowing review of something that I had not yet read. (It's probably very good.)

Sun, 29 Sep 2013 11:34:37 +0000nealdoran196920@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>I am going to take that challenge Jen, and even if I fail, will tell you they're all there, near the back.</p>
<p>(Dr?) Al, there certainly could be a sequel. I think Dan's life is more a mess at the end than the start. But will have to see if there's enough interest!

Sat, 28 Sep 2013 20:30:15 +0000Al OPecia196897@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>And I want to know what happened next - will there be a sequel at some point?

Sat, 28 Sep 2013 19:39:33 +0000The All New Jeni B196895@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>I think we should set you a Neat-O style challenge for your next book.</p>
<p>So, in the spirit of NB, you must include the words 'bassoon' (for obvious reasons); squirrel licking; Evil Island; and Isle of Wight.</p>
<p>If those words don't appear, I won't be buying your book.

Sat, 28 Sep 2013 18:11:13 +0000nealdoran196893@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>Thanks Fernandomando, you're a pal. And reading it is going above and beyond...</p>
<p>And cheers Al,really glad you enjoyed it. Sadly I have no say whatsoever on the blurb,but the publisher does pay attention to the Amazon reviews so you could mention it there -- and friendly reviews always help! I know, needy...

Sat, 28 Sep 2013 13:26:55 +0000Al OPecia196882@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>Finished it this week and thoroughly enjoyed it, superbly written and a lot of laughs, and even plausible!</p>
<p>My only niggle isn't with the book - having read the blurb on Amazon prior to launching into it, I guessed the denouement within the first few chapters - could you make the trailer vaguer please?

Tue, 24 Sep 2013 19:17:54 +0000nealdoran196562@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>Godly, I think with the amount of work involved I'd be worried if you'd done anything but steal it. It's the way I get all my ideas, anyway.</p>
<p>And good going Al -- I honestly thought when you said 33% complete earlier you were talking about the dot-to-dot book. Hope you're enjoying it. Reckon that Nick Knowles probably is a bit of a scoundrel in real life [in a good way, m'lud...]

Tue, 24 Sep 2013 18:51:23 +0000Al OPecia196560@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>I have a vision of Dan as my mate Andy, and, strangely, Rob as Nick Knowles off of DIY SOS? 74% complete.

Tue, 24 Sep 2013 08:01:31 +0000nealdoran196475@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>Magnificent work Godly, thanks Rizzo, and Jeni, I do wish I hadn't decided Dan sounded like Joe Pasquale before I started. Thanks for the review, and most importantly, thanks for letting me out from the cupboard under the stairs when I finished. My nervous reaction to confined spaces was making the atmosphere in there a little close.

Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:58:59 +0000The All New Jeni B196455@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>No, the deluxe iTune version which means Neal had to come and read it to me in person. Complete with each character's voice.</p>
<p>Neal, very good, liked it. When's the sequel due out?
